Depending on where you are, that's pretty close to what's happened. Right now (4pm), the California ISO is generating 73% from renewables+hydro, 7% nuclear, and the balance gas. Naturally, the night replaces solar with gas. This is largely how California has reduced electricity emissions to their current levels.

Always gets me that the above is a no brainer. But people married to the argument that we can't have renewables until we solve the storage problem just refuse to even consider it.

Disconcerting.

And that nuclear power is just from a single plant!
